Further Information

Areas of Special Interest

Couple Counselling and Relationships -  I am a Relate trained and qualified therapist - psychodynamic and systemic models (be sure to ask therapists about their training and qualifications).  I work with opposite and same sex couples, sexuality and sexual difficulties, parenting, children, second families, affairs, domestic violence and abuse, the impact of life-stage transitions, communication difficulties, separation and divorce, illness and bereavement issues.  

I believe that I offer better value and service than Relate:
The first meeting is FREE of charge (daytime appointment)  
You will not be asked to declare your household income
The counselling hour is a full 60 minutes 
You choose your couple counsellor 
You will not be sat in a waiting room with other clients  
You do not have to attend on the same day or same time each week

A discreet, private and confidential, quality service is guaranteed.      
 
Health & Wellbeing at Work - I have a breadth of experience in working with workplace stress, anger management, harrassment and bullying, coping with change and managing the work/life balance.  I can tailor a range of skills training and consultancy services to meet the needs of small and large organisations and have delivered programmes on harrassment & bullying, customer service, communication skills, managing stress, leadership, team building and management development from first line supervisors to Director levels.

Trauma support - I am particularly interested in working with the impact of trauma (MSc, EMDR studies) - child sexual abuse, rape, accidents, surgery, loss and bereavement, suicide, disaster survivors, physical and psychological traumas, and secondary trauma often experienced by those who work with trauma survivors.  
    

Testimonials

........ you were incredibly helpful, you managed to get right to the heart of our problems and helped us to sort them out.  I just wanted to let you know we moved in together 6 mths ago and got married last month.  We're both happy and settled and you helped us get there - so thank you!  J. and M. 

I was quick to blame everyone else for my lot in life.  You challenged my thinking.  Nothing has actually changed and yet I feel calmer and able to cope now.  P. (female)

I thought counselling was for wimps.  I don't even know why I came, I was so sceptical.  What a turnaround in such a short space of time.  M. (male)

The accident 2 years ago changed my life forever - that's a fact but things wouldn't have got so bad if I'd had counselling sooner.  I can't believe how positive I feel about the future and I'm driving!  (female)
